guest: marco rubio is an important player from florida. he is a cuban-american and he has put forth a plan that would provide citizenship under strict circumstances for people who came to the country illegally. that is pretty big and house republicans have their own plan, some members are putting forward similar plans. obama has his own plan that we will hear about so and then that will look lot like what democrats, with a few more years ago and it is more liberal and is less likely that democrats will embrace that. the fact that both sides are talking about it suggests there is a possibility they could come together and do something within this next congress -- in this next congress behind immigration. republicans did not very do well in this election with the hispanic. they feel like they cannot completely abandon hispanics. they need to show they have some empathy for folks who are here illegally. host: when you look at the line of the senate, you of marco rubio and you have jeff lake, republican from arizona, and you have more democrat

marco rubio helping to lead the fight is a good thing. >> i want to talk about your proposal on transportation to abolish the gatt tax. a lot of people saw this and say that doesn't make sense. why? is it because the gas taxes you're collecting, is it a shrinking pool of revenue? >> it's a long-term dying source of revenue. >> why do you believe that. >> one inflation is eating up 55% of the gas tax since it was last raised in 1986 in virginia. two other issues. one is alternative fuels. we're going to be using other technology and thirdly is the cafe standards. 10.38 miles a gallon to 27.2 miles a gallon and over 40 in the next ten years. those three together continue to eat up the gas tax. my suggestion is, let's make the change now. let's convert it to a sales tax. >> why a sales tax and not sort of a user fee, come up with other user fees, more tolls? >> first of all, we already use the sales tax for transfortation. a half a cent right now. >> you want to raise it. >> on a revenue neutral basis to replace the gas tax revenue essentially dollar for dollar. sales growth gross was economic ac
